The How and Who of Where (O'ReillyNet)

O'Reilly presents coverage of the 2005 Where 2.0 conference. "The two days of O'Reilly Media's Where 2.0 conference flew by, and beneath all the high-tech gadgets was the fact that to support this latest generation of location-based applications, you still need to begin by collecting and organizing the data. A9.com, NAVTEQ, and Eyebeam representatives explained how they gather and organize data. Then, Ron Ondrejka brought down the house with his description of how his team used to gather images of the Earth from spy satellites in the 1960s."

Another article entitled The What and Why of Where looks at other aspects of the conference.
